FAQs

Is this corer truly plastic-free?

Yes, the Eco Living Wooden Apple Corer is designed to be completely plastic-free. The handle is made from sustainable beech wood, and the core head is stainless steel. It also comes in plastic-free packaging.

What types of fruit can I use this corer on?

This corer is primarily designed for apples and pears. It can also be used on other similarly sized and textured fruits, though results may vary.

How should I clean the apple corer?

The apple corer should be hand washed with warm water and mild soap. It is not dishwasher safe. Ensure it is dried thoroughly after washing.

Will the wooden handle splinter?

With proper care, including hand washing and drying, the beech wood handle is durable and unlikely to splinter. Applying food-safe mineral oil periodically can further protect the wood.

Is this product suitable for commercial use?

While durable for home use, this corer is designed for domestic kitchen applications. For high-volume commercial use, industrial-grade tools may be more suitable.

Where is this apple corer made?

The Eco Living Wooden Apple Corer is crafted in Europe using sustainable materials.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Information regarding specific warranty periods is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please check your purchase documentation for details.

Troubleshooting

Corer is difficult to push through the fruit.

Ensure the serrated edge is clean and free of debris. Apply firm, steady pressure. For very firm fruits, a slight twisting motion might help.

Wood handle appears dry or is showing small cracks.

Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil to the wooden handle. Wipe off any excess and allow it to absorb. Ensure the item is properly dried after washing to prevent future issues.

Stainless steel head is not removing the core cleanly.

Check the serrated edge for any damage or dullness. Ensure you are pushing the corer straight through the center of the fruit. If the edge appears damaged, contact customer support.

The corer is difficult to clean thoroughly.

Use a small brush (like a vegetable brush or toothbrush) to carefully clean around the serrations after initial rinsing. Ensure all soap residue is removed before drying.

Care Instructions: To ensure the longevity of your wooden apple corer:

Hand Wash Only: Do not place in a dishwasher, as high heat and prolonged moisture can damage the wood.
